The "Until You Come Back to Me" Phil Harding 12" mix, probably the best of her dance mixes in this writer's opinion, is part of the collection and this will mark the first time the song has been properly available in the UK. It hasn't been out worldwide, even, since the Brave New Hope and The Best Remixes releases of the early 90s. <br /><br />Harding penned a book in 2009, <i>PWL From the Factory Floor</i>, which has been reissued in a hugely expanded edition (from around 250 to a staggering 600 pages!). I have the 2009 edition which does mention Basia and Danny a bit and is overall a fine read. Perhaps the new edition may expand on PWL's work with Basia and MB, Phil has said that his work with Basia was among his favorites and I've always respected that!<br /><br />You can find appropriate sales links and more info at <h href="http://pwlfromthefactoryfloor.com/"><a href="http://pwlfromthefactoryfloor.com/">pwlfromthefactoryfloor.com</a> - both are available at Amazon UK and US as well.</h><div class="blogger-post-footer">BasiaWeb: http://www.basiaweb.com</div>http://blog.basiaweb.com/2011/12/basia-on-new-phil-harding-collection.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Leslie O.)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32047568.post-3354632010140297156Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:43:00 +00002011-10-27T23:44:41.645-04:00nerdsvideoYouTubeRevisiting: Original "New Day for You" videoFan Mark Derrington reminded me of this really great first version of the video to "New Day For You," filmed at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Isn't it weird to see singers that aren't Annick and Veronique singing with her? It's hard to imagine a Basia performance without them! The video was reshot because the record company didn't like how Basia was singing to an empty hall. I guess <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T5GKHqU35Y">this strange narrative</a> (who's on the phone?!) made more sense to them if his hair didn't, even by 1988 standards. I'll just take one of each of everything Basia is wearing here. It's vintage now, right?!<br /><br /><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://3.gvt0.com/vi/jJPmZFUDoi8/0.jpg" height="266" style="clear: left; float: left;" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jJPmZFUDoi8&fs=1&source=uds" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jJPmZFUDoi8&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/iQD3jCNWJNY/0.jpg" height="266" style="clear: right; float: right;" width="320"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQD3jCNWJNY&fs=1&source=uds" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iQD3jCNWJNY&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div>Dutchmarc did a great side-by-side of these videos, too, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWVvJIFCrsY&amp;feature=related">similar to his captures of the "Promises" videos.</a> We all know now that there was no reason for the US localizing of <i>Time and Tide</i>!<div class="blogger-post-footer">BasiaWeb: http://www.basiaweb.com</div>http://blog.basiaweb.com/2011/10/revisiting-original-new-day-for-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Leslie O.)5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32047568.post-6407368483688503487Wed, 19 Oct 2011 20:47:00 +00002011-10-19T16:53:53.906-04:00radioBasia 'celebrity DJ' on SiriusXMBasia will be on a <a href="http://www.siriusxm.com/servlet/Satellite?c=SXM_Channel_C&childpagename=SXM%2FSXM_Channel_C%2FChannelProgramList&cid=1282009841331&pagename=SXM%2FWrapper">Celebrity DJ session on SiriusXM Watercolors tomorrow</a> (10/20) from 2-3pm EST, playing live tracks recorded at the SXM studios last month, along with From Newport to London tracks and, knowing Basia, some really good other songs!
